BIOGRAPHY:

Hi, my name is Taylor Williamson. I’m a comedian. I was born June 15, 1986 in San Diego, California. I started performing standup comedy when I was seventeen-years-old during my senior year of high school. I moved to Los Angeles a year later to waste my parents' money in college for a year, and to pursue my comedy career.

When I'm not touring the country, I perform regularly at many of the top clubs in Los Angeles, including the Comedy & Magic Club and Hollywood Improv. Budd Friedman saw me perform just a week before my nineteenth birthday, asked me “What kind of name is Williamson for a Jewboy?”, and then booked me at his clubs in Reno and Las Vegas. Being Jewish helps in this business.

In Spring 2005, I was featured in an article on the LA comedy scene in Southwest Airlines’ Spirit Magazine. In April 2006, New York Magazine called me a “Name to Watch” and commented on my “cerebral wit.” After reading this article, I looked up the word “cerebral” and was very flattered.

In July 2006, I performed at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal as part of their New Faces showcase. Daily Variety called me a "20-year-old Californian" while commenting on how I was garnering interest from the industry.  The Montreal Gazette called me a "twenty-year-old with nerdy delivery" and rated my performance 7/10 stars.  For the record, that is an A+ when converted to the American comedy rating system. I hope no one ever figures out that I'm actually 35-years-old...

Not only have I been in print, but I’ve also been on TV! On February 14th, 2007, I made my network television debut on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Craig and I have since become best friends. I've also appeared in hilarious sketches on Fuel TV's “The Daily Habit. My grandma loves that program.

In the next 10 years, I have lots of exciting things coming up! This includes appearances on Comedy Central and David Letterman, an HBO special, a sitcom on the Disney channel, a failed marriage, a few stints in rehab, and a starring role in the 15th season of The Surreal Life.
